The CEO of the social network announced several improvements to help users interact more meaningful instead of reading media content

The creator of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, stressed that his purpose for 2018 was to be able to fix the social network. A task that begins with certain changes that will affect the user interface, since they will no longer be bombarded with news.

These changes will be made in the News Feed algorithm, the interface that appears to the user with the updates of their friends, pages that follow and content that Facebook believes may be relevant to each account.With this action will decrease the news appearances of content publishers. "The overall time on Facebook will decrease, but we believe it is the right thing to do," said Adam Moseri, vice president of news for this social network.Now we will prioritize the news that inspire debate in the comments, over actions such as sharing or liking. For this reason, the publications of the friends will be the great beneficiaries of this change.The official version of Facebook alleges that social networks are good if they are used to connect with the people we care about. However, it is also said that the change is a consequence of the bad reputation of the false news that was appearing in the US elections in 2016.Zuckerberg has affirmed that his intention with this change is that the time of the people in this network is more valuable, although he assumes that the visits will fall. "If we do the right thing, I think it will be good for our community and our business in the long term," he concluded.Source: ABC.es
